Standing with Rafael: acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment costs
8 rounds of treatment are planned at the Mendoza Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Rafael was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in July. The oncology team at the Mendoza Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Rafael is 51, worked as a taxi driver until July, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to the Mendoza Oncology Institute 2 times a week, and the income the family has lost add up quickly.
We've already sold what we could and have begun borrowing for groceries. Every kindness from you takes weight off his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $750 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $360
• Household costs while unable to work: $250
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $140
Thank you for reading my story.
